A Connecticut non-profit 'For All Ages' is on a mission to end loneliness and enrich lives through social connection. The organization has helped more than 38,000 people and counting. For All Ages also convenes The CT Collaborative to End Loneliness, a statewide alliance to foster social connection for Connecticut's residents.
